Just finished reading this one by @ImMeganCollins --and was at the edge of my seat the whole time! #debutauthors19 #amreading amzn.to/2CEt0ci

Oh hey there, book number two! 😱

#Debut19Chat Day 30: Website (with sign-up for monthly newsletter): ericaboyce.com Instagram (I'm generally more active there than Twitter): instagram.com/boycebabbles IRL: trying not to get sucked into another YouTube wormhole

#Debut19Chat Day 29: Read, visit bookstores, and sew stuff. Usually only the third involves cathartic swearing and yelling at my sewing machine.

#Debut19Chat Day 28: I've got a pile of research looming on my desk for book 3 (in which I'll basically live out my dream of playing in a 90s band), but right now, I'm trying to figure out how this e-newsletter thing works. 🤔 (Obligatory "sign up at ericaboyce.com"!)

#Debut19Chat Day 27: Definitely @colsonwhitehead's THE UNDERGROUND RAILROAD. Just an all around amazing book--and yes, it took me way too long to get around to reading it. The #tbr pile struggle is real!

#Debut19Chat Day 26: Currently reading and loving @ZillianZi's NUMBER ONE CHINESE RESTAURANT (thanks to @ericsmithrocks, whose recs are always 🔥).

#Debut19Chat Day 25: Uhhh, gonna have to throw it back to Empire Records for this one because I am Not That Deep. "In this life, there are nothing but possibilities." (Lucas) (Also, "I don't feel that I need to explain my art to you, Warren." (A.J.))

#Debut19Chat Day 24: Write the next one. Seriously. The only thing that distracted me from doing endless, useless sub research was doing endless, useful(ish) book 2 research.

#Debut19Chat Day 23: Me, personally? I’ll never quit. I’m lucky enough to have a job that I love—and honestly, I think relying entirely on my book(s) for money would be too much pressure and not fun. Also, I can’t spend all day writing without my brain melting.

#Debut19Chat Day 22: Ughhh, synopses. Write ‘em like a book report and don’t worry about making them sound pretty. Also, writing synopses for books with multiple MCs and POVs is HARD, everyone.

#Debut19Chat Day 21: @DebutanteBall, @PubCrawlBlog, @printrunpodcast, and Shipping & Handling podcast all day, every day.

#Debut19Chat Day 20: Other than @ericsmithrocks’s hook/book/cook formula, @suddenlyjen’s advice courtesy of a @gothamwriters workshop: include both the conflict AND the stakes.
